Ask the hall.
Watch it answer.
RIT Pulse runs quizzes, polls and word clouds in real time for classes, labs and symposiums at Ramco Institute of Technology. Students join with a six digit code, answer on their own phone, and every screen in the hall counts down to the same millisecond.
Students play without an account. Only the staff member hosting signs in.
Which organelle produces most of the cell’s ATP?
The same rooms, awake.
Ramco Institute of Technology, Rajapalayam — from a first year classroom to the convocation stage, the deck is the same and the code goes on the projector.
Convocation
Every department, one hall, one join code on the screen.
Digital library
Revision quizzes students can replay between classes.
Seminar hall
Guest lectures that end with the room answering, not nodding.
Everyone sees the same question at the same second.
A live quiz falls apart the moment two people disagree about what the current question is or how long is left. RIT Pulse settles both on the server.
One clock for the whole room
Deadlines are issued by the server as absolute timestamps, not started by whichever browser rendered first. Phones, laptops and the projector are counting down to the same instant.
Walk in late, land in step
Someone joins during question three and they get question three, with the exact seconds everyone else has left. No refresh, no catching up, no seeing an old slide.
Results move as people tap
Every answer streams over a live subscription. The bars on the big screen grow while the room is still deciding, and the timer never depends on the host's connection.
Score it, or just ask it.
Graded questions build a leaderboard. Polls, word clouds and scales collect the room without keeping score. Mix them in one deck.

Think of a follow-up while presenting? Push it to the running deck.
Type a topic. Get a first draft.
Describe what you are teaching and how hard it should be. You get a set of questions with plausible distractors and an explanation for each one, dropped straight into the editor where you can fix anything you disagree with.
- Choose which formats it is allowed to use
- Every draft lands editable, nothing is published behind your back
- Runs on OpenRouter by default, or a local Ollama model if you would rather nothing leaves the building
Three moves from empty page to full room.
Build it
Write questions yourself, or describe a topic and let the model draft them. Set a timer per question; the total updates as you go.
Present it
Put the code on the screen. People join from any browser with a nickname. Advance manually or let it run itself.
Read the room
Distribution after every question, a leaderboard between rounds, and a full breakdown when the session ends.
Your next hour could be the one the class stays awake for.
Build a deck in a few minutes. Hosting is free for Ramco Institute of Technology staff, and playing needs nothing but a browser.
